How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 358 yards
Wind: 13 mph, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, Water, Lava pool, 2 bunkers.
A portal green sits short of the real one. Sink it and you come out beside the pin — but a ball that misses it stops dead, so only go for it with a clean strike. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 2Par 3 · 121 yards
Wind: 14 mph, right to left. On the hole: Island green.
All carry and no bailout. Take enough club for the middle of the green — short is wet, and the thin collar only just holds. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 3Par 5 · 564 yards
Wind: 14 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: Water, 2 bunkers.
Water guards this hole. Laying up short costs a few yards; finding it costs a stroke and a drop. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 4Par 3 · 204 yards
Wind: 13 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: Cart path, 2 bunkers.
204 yards, playing about 211 with the wind — on paper a 5 wood. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 5Par 5 · 570 yards
Wind: 9 mph, into you. On the hole: Water, 2 bunkers.
Water guards this hole. Laying up short costs a few yards; finding it costs a stroke and a drop.
Hole 6Par 4 · 394 yards
Wind: 9 mph, right to left. On the hole: A gust band, 3 bunkers.
A band of fast air crosses the hole. Fly over it or stay under it — what you can't do is hang the ball in it.
Hole 7Par 6 · 789 yards
Wind: 11 mph, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Cart path, 4 bunkers.
A portal green sits short of the real one. Sink it and you come out beside the pin — but a ball that misses it stops dead, so only go for it with a clean strike. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 8Par 4 · 317 yards
Wind: 13 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: Cart path, Water, 1 bunker.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 9Par 4 · 420 yards
Wind: 10 mph, into you. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, 2 bunkers.
The arm sweeps a stretch of the hole and knocks the ball clear. You can't shoot around it, so land short of it or beyond it. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
